"American Idol's" newest addition to the judges' panel, singer-songwriter Kara DioGuardi, might be angling to be a nicer Simon - or a meaner Paula.

"I'm just somebody who's really honest and gives my opinion. If I feel I need to be hard with someone in order to get that across, I will," DioGuardi told reporters Monday. "And if I feel I need to be softer and more nurturing with the contestants, I'll do that. It all depends on the situation." (source)
